Marilyn Manson Sued By Former Bandmate, Herbie Hancock Covers Joni Mitchell, Moby Thinks Disco Stephen “Pogo” Bier, a former keyboardist/drummer for Marilyn Manson, is suing the singer for back wages from 1993. Bier alleges that rather than paying his band, Manson would instead splurge on necessities like Nazi memorabilia and the bones of a young Chinese girl. Herbie Hancock is set to release River: Letters to Joni, a collection of covers from Joni Mitchell’s songbook. Guests include Tina Turner, Norah Jones, Leonard Cohen and the frappuccino drinker herself. Check out the track list and cover art for PJ Harvey’s White Chalk, due out in late September. Donna Summer and Grace Jones are among Moby’s inspirations as he works toward completing his new album within the next month. Jack White thinks journalists are “lazy.” This comes from a guy who played a concert that consisted of only one note. Photo: Getty

Janelle Monae, Ladyhawke Nod to Past and Future With Polished, Poppy SXSW SetsJanelle Monáe — the funky R&B rocker Rolling Stone named Hot Sci-Fi Beyoncé on last year’s Hot List — likes to make an entrance. The OutKast protégée made not one, but three during her brief Wednesday night SXSW set at Stubb’s, first flouncing onto the stage as a female voice-over instructed the audience “no phasers, only chainsaws” were permitted, generating a stunning silhouette as her springy pompadour reflected the spotlight. Her poppy yet bizarre songs recalled Of Montreal’s glammy pastiche, though there were clearly nods to Prince and James Brown in her striking stage show (and frequent count-offs of “One, two, three, four!”). (Check out photos of Janelle Monae and more in our SXSW gallery.) On “Many Moons” Monáe busted out an extremely funky chicken in her now-traditional crisp white jacket with black lapels. But she dialed everything back to basics for ballad “Smile,” a torchy piece that she belted flawlessly, accompanied only by her stellar, Andre 3000-lookalike guitarist. “Sincerely Jane” was packed with bass and brassy low sounds, conjuring something both retro and futuristic, recalling the early-Sixties vibe Duffy and Adele have spun into success. The only drawback was that though the stage sounded packed with musicians, the guitarist and a drummer were Monáe’s only live accompaniment (layers of backing vocals and other instruments came care/of a backing track). But though it certainly felt like a full-scale pop spectacle crammed onto that modest Stubb’s stage, Monáe made sure to make a very rock & roll exit, crowd-surfing her way through her final number before vanishing for good. Next, New Zealand Eighties revivalist Ladyhawke ran through an extremely polished set of tightly arranged synth-rock. Opener “Dusk Till Dawn” shimmered with Scissor Sisters boogie, “Magic” throbbed with the power of propulsive but eerie disco and “Another Runaway” recalled both Donna Summer and Pat Benatar with its anthemic yet glittery vibe. Singer Pip Brown stood anchored c

On the Charts: 3 Doors Down Wind Up at Number One The Big News: 3 Doors Down, they of “Kryptonite” fame, topped the charts as their eponymous fifth album sold 154,342 copies in its debut week, marking the band’s second consecutive album to reach Number One. UGK rapper Bun B scored the Number Two as his second solo album Il Trill sold 97,597 copies. Nineteen-year-old country singer/Dancing With the Stars contestant Julianne Hough won the bronze with her self-titled debut album, while Frank Sinatra’s Nothing But the Best and last week’s winner Death Cab for Cutie’s Narrow Stairs rounded out the top five. Debuts: Jesse McCartney’s Departure entered at 14, Donna Summer’s first album in 17 years Crayons appropriately debuted at 17 and Green Day offshoot the Foxboro Hot Tubs bowed at 21 with Stop Drop & Roll! On the indie front, Mates of State’s Re-Arrange Us took 140 while Islands’ Arm’s Way just snuck in at 200. Finally, Scarlett Johansson’s Tom Waits tribute disc Anywhere I Lay My Head scored 126th place. Last Week’s Heroes: Outside of Death Cab and the Chairman of the Board, Jason Mraz’s We Sing We Dance We Steal Things fell three to 11 and Duffy’s Rockferry dropped from four to eight. All three divas remained in the Top 10, though, as Leona Lewis, Mariah Carey and Madonna clung to six, seven and nine, respectively. [Photo: Getty]
